ASSOCIATIONS
INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
The following day, on Wednesday, 12
June, Dr Hasse presented his talk to
SAIRAC KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) members
and guests in Durban at the Durban
Country Club.
“I would like to say that it was an honour
for SAIRAC KZN to host such a distinguished
guest,” said Neeraj Ramkissoon, KZN centre
vice chairman. “Dr Hasse, with his wealth of
knowledge, down-to-earth approach, and
vast array of experience, was well received
by all who attended the lecture.”
According to Ramkissoon, the content
presented was practical, up to date
and applicable to today’s environment
of advancing technologies. While R290
may have been around for many years,
Dr Hasse’s presentation really highlighted
the benefits not only in the efficiency of
the equipment and up to 50% saving on
electrical consumption but ultimately
its characteristic of being one of the
most environmentally friendly (low GWP)
refrigerants in the market.
“We would like to thank Dr Hasse for
taking the time to travel to present this
talk,” said Ramkissoon.
